"Help, Rocket Girl!" the Mighty Man actor cried.
"Save Mighty Man, Rocket Girl!" a kid yelled.
Darklight Man laughed. "I'm the greatest villain in Metro City. Even Rocket Girl can't defeat me."
"Prove it!" the kid yelled.
"Okay," Darklight Man said. "I will prove it!"
He held up his sword, gazing at the crowd. "I have another light sword with me. I'll give it to Rocket Girl, and we'll have a duel. If she wins, Mighty Man goes free. But if I win . . ." He grinned. "It will be Mighty Man's final episode!"
He pulled another sword from his belt and tossed it to Roxy.
She pressed a button on the handle. Ka-riinngg! The sword's light blade popped out.
"Whoa." Roxy slashed the air, testing the sword. "This thing is pretty cool."
Darklight Man turned to the actor. "Don't try to escape while we're fighting, Mighty Man. Or you'll be sorry!"
The actor whimpered. "I'll be good, I promise."
Darklight Man spun back to Roxy. She leaped into the air and slashed down with her sword. The villain blocked her blade.
Swish! Swish! The light swords glowed as the two dueled. Roxy swung her sword as hard and fast as she could.
"Ugh!" she thought. "He keeps blocking me!"
Darklight Man suddenly slashed his sword near her face. Roxy blocked him, but she wasn't fast enough. The blade sizzled one of her pigtails.
"Ahh!" Roxy cried.
Darklight Man laughed. "I told you I'm the greatest villain in Metro City."
"Grr!" Suddenly the Mighty Man actor growled. He ran at Darklight Man and raised his hands. Then he brought them down hard on the villain's wrist.
The light sword flew out of Darklight Man's hand. "Gah!"
"Nice try, Darklight Man!" Mighty Man said. "But you forgot—crime doesn't pay!"
"Wow, thanks, Mighty Man," Roxy said. "I'll take it from here."
Darklight Man's sword lay on the ground. Its blade wasn't glowing anymore. Roxy shot her eye laser beams. Whiz-hoo! The sword shattered into pieces.
"You destroyed my light swords!" Darklight Man shouted. "You'll pay for this, Rocket Girl."
Roxy shrugged. "Maybe you can invent something else while you're in jail. Supervillains get locked up for a long, long time!"
Roxy hurried into Jack's living room with some snacks.
"Did Mighty Man defeat the villain this time?" she asked.
"Of course he did," Mara said. "Mighty Man always defeats the villain."
"So does Rocket Girl," Terrell said. "Right, Roxy?"
Roxy grinned. "Right!"
